Sure, this works
But you have to be an informed user to do that.
What about stupid people?
What about uniformed people?
What about people who come from Windows(TM) world?

Be sure I don't want to build a Linux from scrach ;-)
I know the link.

But I remember a meeting one year ago, where was RMS present, where SuSe (TM) 
made a great effort to build a disribution user friendly (It seems is 
was...).

And I would like Fedora making better!

And I say, perhaps I'm stupid, but don't have a super usermode console entry 
in the menu is a regression!

Think what you want.

I think that too many people forget newbies.
As I came from FC6, I can consider me as a newbie (newby?) with this F9.

I can also close my mouth and leave you to believe that everything is fine.
In my humble opinion, this is not the case.

I don't say any more about that, my english don't allow me.

As summary, I'm afraid that nobobdy complait about this behaviour and 
everybody forget non Linux user who want to try to make the step.
